How About Cookies uses cookies on its sites

Cookies are small text files that can be used by web sites to
make a user's experience more efficient.

The law states that we can store cookies on your machine if they
are essential to the operation of this site but that for all others
we need your permission to do so.

About Cookiesdoes use some non-essential
cookies. We do not do this to track individual users or to identify
them, but to gain useful knowledge about how the site is used so
that we can keep improving it for our users. Without the knowledge
we gain from the systems that use these cookies we would not be
able to provide the service we do.

This site uses different types of cookie.

We use Google Analytics, a popular web analytics service
provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us
to analyse how users use the site. It counts the number of visitors
and tells us things about their behaviour overall – such as the
typical length of stay on the site or the average number of pages a
user views.

The information generated by the cookie about your use
of our website (including your IP address) will be transmitted
to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google
will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of
our website, compiling reports on website activity and providing
other services relating to website activity and internet
usage.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where
required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the
information on Google's behalf. Google undertakes not to associate
your IP address with any other data held by Google.

If you have Adobe Flash installed on your computer (most
computers do) and you use Out-Law.com's audio or video players,
Google Analytics will try to store some additional data on your
computer. This data is known as a Local Shared Object
or Flash cookie. This helps us
to analyse the popularity of our media files. We can count the
total number of times each file is played, how many people watch
videos right to the end and how many people give up half way
through. Adobe's website offers tools tocontrol
Flash cookies on your computer.
